Having recently released the band's first full-length in almost two decades, German death metal legends Morgoth are gearing up for their "Ungod UK & European Tour – 2016" - presented to you by The Flaming Arts Agency - with Incantation, Darkrise and Omophagia as supporting bands.

Having recently released the band's first full-length in almost two decades, German death metal legends Morgoth are now ready to unleash a new video from "Ungod."

Check out the new clip for "Traitor" below, courtesy of Decibel Magazine. Morgoth's Harry Busse (guitar) also comments:

"The first idea that existed for 'Traitor' was the marching riff you find in the verse of the song. After we wrote the bridge and the chorus, the song was almost finished from its instrumental side. I still had no idea in which direction the lyrics should go.

"Only when Sebastian came up with the clean guitar, that introduces and completes the song, did I have the idea for a theme that would perfectly match the sadness and desperation of this interlude, followed by the brutality and mercilessness of the song itself. A child soldier, betrayed by the ones supposed to protect him, betrayed by the "Traitor'." More...

With American death metal legends Origin, the utterly brutal Morgoth from Germany, Dutch marauders Centurian and Dutch brutal death grinders Korpse rounding off the bill, the line-up for Neurotic Deathfest 2015 is complete.

Europe's premier indoor extreme metal festival sets place on April 17th - 19th at the 013 venue in Tilburg, the Netherlands. 42 bands in total will play at the 12th edition of the festival, including heavyweight acts such as Bloodbath, Obituary and Entombed A.D. Weekend tickets and day tickets are available through this location.

Today Morgoth has released a lyric video for the track "Snakestate" off the upcoming album, "Ungod." Century Media Records comments:

"'Snakestate' perfectly displays the trademark sound and musical variety of 'Ungod,' an album that turned out surprisingly diverse and fresh, capturing the essence of Morgoth by blending the ferociousness of the band's legendary EPs, 'Resurrection Absurd' and 'The Eternal Fall,' with the abysmal atmosphere of Morgoth's great classic albums, 'Cursed and Odium.'"

"Ungod" will be released on March 30th in Europe and April 7th in North America via Century Media Records. See the band live:

Greek cover designer Seth Siro Anton (Paradise Lost, Soilwork, Moonspell, etc.) captured the atmosphere of Morgoth's upcomign album “Ungod” and transformed it into an eerie piece of delusion and despair, which can be seen below.

Seth Siro Anton commented: “When you have the mission to visualize a legendary band like Morgoth, you must seek ancient traditions to properly transmit classic darkness!“

Morgoth added: “We are very happy to have worked with Seth for the cover artwork of the album. We knew it wouldn’t be very easy to put the title 'Ungod' into a design that is vivid, brutal and aesthetic at the same time. We had received a couple of good different suggestions for the artwork, but Seth’s simply was the one who pictured exactly what was already in our minds. It can roughly be described as God drowning in the void, killing its own creation and becoming the 'Ungod' - The dawn of the Antichrist.”

“Ungod” will be released on March 30th, 2015 in Europe and April 7th, 2015 in North America through Century Media Records. More...

The deadly teutonic death metal force of Morgoth finally returns with a new studio album: "Ungod."

Due out March 30th in Europe and April 7th in North America via Century Media Records, "Ungod" will contain 11 tracks of dark and dismal death metal, combining the untamed ferocity of Morgoth's infamous EPs with the atmospheric density of the band's two legendary albums, "Cursed" and "Odium."

For a preview of this upcoming release, be sure to check out the new track "Black Enemy" below. Morgoth also had this to say:

"After 18 years we can finally present a first glimpse at our new full-length album, 'Ungod'! We started with the songwriting in January 2013 and finished the recording process by the end of December 2014. It was an awesome experience to go through the sometimes very complex and challenging process of writing and recording an album again.

"Our goal was to present some real Morgoth-style death metal, which closes the gap between 'Cursed' and 'Odium.' We hope that we have achieved this goal and our supporters and friends will like the final outcome.

"The idea behind the song 'Black Enemy' is that this evil force rests within all of us and all we can do is trying to keep that beast under control. The 'Black Enemy' represents the dark and destroying part inside of us and the lyrics deal with someone who is not able to control it anymore, committing a murder in the end." More...

"Morgoth has wrapped up the recordings for the 'Ungod' album and is mixing the results in the coming weeks!

"The vocals on the album as well as on upcoming gigs will be handled by Karsten 'Jagger' Jäger, who you might already know from the long-running band Disbelief.

"Here is a (rough mix) teaser of new Morgoth music straight from the studio featuring Jagger on vocals for you to check out. 'Ungod' will be released by the end of March 2015 via Century Media Records." More...

"And yes, the rumours are true….Morgoth is currently in the studio working on new material. We decided to team up with Jörn Michutta at Sound Division Tonstudio in Sundern, Germany for these sessions and the results are sounding seriously heavy.

"The atmosphere and the creativity within the band have been inspiringly good in these past reunion years since 2011, so naturally new ideas started to come up. As consequence, we decided to take some months off from playing shows and properly focus on songwriting.

"We expect to already have a brand-new single out before the tour, so stay tuned for more news and details soon…and see you on tour!" More...

Italy's Cripple Bastards has been confirmed for the upcoming Obscene Extreme Festival. The following press release was also issued about the appearance:

"You could say this is a 'grindcore hat-trick' as it is the third OEF appearance in 2014 for Italian hate mob Cripple Bastards after headlining the insane Obscene Extreme Asia in Tokyo and Obscene Extreme Australia in Melbourne earlier this year. But if you really want to see the Bastards play at home, then Obscene Extreme Trutnov is the grounds for the final massacre. They have been blasting the shit on stage since the festival's birth back in 1999 and raised the most infernal stage diving pits for countless times through the years that followed.

"26 years after their conception Cripple Bastards still hold the banner high as Italy's most hostile and aggressive grind/hardcore unit around. With one foot firmly in the past and all the vicious savagery of manic fast 80's hardcore extremity, Cripple Bastards are also charging forwards. With bloodshot eyes and a rabid 'get out and bite them' attitude, this band are ready to introduce their brand new 2014 full length 'Nero In Metastasi' on Relapse Records and they will consolidate their ongoing mission of bringing nihilistic, fuck-you-all, grinding hatred to every corner of an underserving mankind. Cripple Bastards will also be introducing for the first time ever on Trutnov's Battlefield their 5 piece line-up with new axeman Wild Vitto on second guitar which will only enhance their wall of hate/grind fury!"

The Obscene Extreme Festival 2014 will take place from July 16th - 20th, 2014, with full details available right here. The confirmed lineup includes the following bands: More...

The Obscene Extreme festival will be taking place from July 16th - 20th, with ticket information available at this location. Now the festival has announced several new additions to the lineup, including Brutal Truth and Morgoth. The festival organizers comment:

"Few bands represent Obscene Extreme as fully as US grind legends Brutal Truth – they've weathered break-ups and line-up changes, but never once have they halted in their mission to keep pushing the bleeding edge of grindcore.

"Never complacent, each steamroller of Brutal Truth album has furthered their sound and moved the goalposts for the whole damn genre in the process. Now bassist, founding member and extreme metal champion Dan Lilker approaches his 50th birthday, he's stepping back from music and his baby - Brutal Truth - will be no more.

"When the band returned in 2006, it was Obscene Extreme the following year that welcomed them back as very personification of the festival. Now, seven years later we'll bid them farewell with one final performance. Obscene Extreme 2014 – this promises to be unforgettable!!!

"Another band that will be stepping out onto the Obscene Extreme stage this year will be fathers of the German death metal scene, the mighty Morgoth. Originally split in 1998 after only three albums - the coffin-lid hammering of 1991's ‘Cursed,’ 1993's forward-thinking ‘Odium’ and their most divisive albums ever, 1995's post-punk ‘Feel Sorry For The Fanatic.’ More...

Germany's notorious death metal outfit Morgoth has finally released the band's catalog digitally for fans in North America.

In addition to the now classic "Cursed," "Odium," and "Feel Sorry For The Fanatic," the band's two legendary EPs, "Resurrection Absurd" and "The Eternal Fall," are also available as one album bundle. The digital release track listings are as follows:
